From my InterWorx FAQ:
http://www.transwarphosting.net/help/interworx-faq.htm
Does InterWorx support the FrontPage server extensions?
Not at this time, but they are planned for a future release. There is NO ETA on this.
In the meantime they may be installed by the end user and will work (with some tweaking). Download them from http://www.rtr.com/fpsupport/ and follow the directions.
Read the directions completely, but here are the basic steps:
1. Back up your web data and Apache configuration files [ everything in the /etc/httpd/conf.d directory ]
2. Download the extensions file (make sure to get the ones for Linux/RedHat)
3. gunzip the extensions file [gunzip < filename > ]
4. untar the extensions file [tar -xf < filename > ]
5. change directories to where you untarred the files [ normally /root/frontpage/frontpage-3.0/ ]
6. run the fp_install.sh script [ ./fp_install.sh ]
7. Follow the prompts in the script
8. The install script asks where Perl is installed [ /usr/bin/perl ]
9. and where the Apache controller is [ /usr/sbin/apachectl ]
10 Create a root web in the directory of the desired site and specify a password.
You're done!
There are extensions for FP98, FP2000, and FP2002. It is generally best to install the newest, but some people like the older ones because they are (probably) more thoroughly tested and if you don't use the advanced features then the older ones may be just as good. You can still use newer versions of FrontPage to design your sites because FP extensions are backward compatible, but some of the newer features that require the newer extensions will not work.
If you are looking for a step by step guide check this out. However I have not tested it on an InterWorx server yet, and it uses an older version of apache (1.3.x) so there WILL be several differences.
Good Luck!
NOTE: In the near future I will be installing this on my CentOS server and will document the experience on my InterWorx page.
***
This assumes you download the source from Ready To Run Software. As stated in another thread Chris has SRPM's for this in the experemental archive. The procedure is similar, however. I'm going to try to take a look at this tomorrow evening or on Monday if I can find the time.
Hope somebody finds this usefull.
